DirectHelp
The NAVIGON DirectHelp feature offers speedy access to emergency POIs. You can
quickly find a telephone number and make an emergency call (when paired with a
mobile phone), find an address, get directions, and drive to help. DirectHelp also pro-
vides you with directional distance to the nearest intersection, and your latitude/longi-
tude location. This information can help emergency personnel quickly come to your
assistance.
DirectHelp is available at any time, while you are on-route or off, and with or without
GPS reception. The last known GPS position is used when GPS reception is not avail-
able. With GPS, you can quickly find help and calculate a route to a DirectHelp POI.

tion from the last known GPS position. If the device is located:
